    They also grasp mental health better than people might think. Such as Martok and Worf watching Garak face his claustrophobia in order to save them:

    Martok: There is no greater enemy than one’s own fears.
    Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.

    And this admiration is coming from people who consider the Cardassians to be bitter enemies, which is even more astounding given how devious and dishonourable Garak can be.

      To be fair though, both Worf and Martok are among the best Klingons. Somehow, I don’t think Duras, or even Gowron, would have felt the same

    You know, Klingons, for all the cheese they got saddled with over the decades, were sometimes given some truly amazing moments like that one. They’re this hyper macho, warrior driven and hide-bound culture, but they value friendship in a beautiful way. They really get loyalty to a friend in a way that no other in-universe culture does.
